Mangaluru: The District Kambala Samiti is planning to provide health insurance for buffalo riders and buffaloes taking part in Kambala. Dakshina Kannada District Kamabal Samiti will meet this Sunday in Mangaluru to take a final call. There are about 140 buffalo riders who participate in 80 Kambala events organised at various places from Thalappady in Dakshina Kannada to Shirva in Udupi every year. Of these 140 riders, the Samiti plans to insure at least 60-70 riders this year.
The Samiti plans to introduce the scheme with the Koti-Chennaya Jodukare Kambalain Moodbidri on November 11, which marks the beginning of this season. Plans are to introduce a group insurance for Kambala riders. There are many riders, but only about 60-70 are actively involved, who will be covered.
Samiti is looking at a comprehensive policy. The riders should get medical benefits for all ailments and not just for injuries sustained during Kambala. The Samiti is gearing up to launch the Kambala calendar for 2017-18 as the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (Karnataka Amendment) Ordinance, 2017 has got the President’s approval. The state government had promulgated the ordinance in July.
